Chapter 198 Study Group
Next, Levin began to explain the principles of the [Patronus Charm].
"As Zhang Qiu and Luna said just now, dementors represent negative emotions and power, and bring despair to people by sucking happiness. And if we want to fight against this negative power, we need positive emotions. , this is the origin of the power of [Patron Saint Curse].
"In fact, the essence of the Patronus is the power of positive and happy emotions. It is the external manifestation of the things that Dementors rely on for survival - hope, happiness, and the desire to survive - but it cannot feel it like a real person. It's desperate, so the Dementors can't do anything to it."
"Therefore, before casting the [Patronus Charm], we must focus on recalling the happiest memory we can think of. The stronger the pleasure brought by the memory, the stronger the effect of the spell, and use the wand to draw a circle to accumulate energy for the spell. Power. After that, you need to recite the spell [Calling the Guardian]. The Guardian will emerge from the tip of the wand and run towards the target.
Then, Levin pulled out his wand: "There is no better way to talk than to give it a try. Next, I will personally demonstrate the Patronus Charm to everyone."
"Then, [Calling God to Guard]!"
The next moment, silver light poured out from the tip of the wand and gathered together to form a complete image - much more complete than the first time he used this spell on the train.
But its image is not the feathered serpent of that time, but a dragon - an adult carnival dragon, exactly like Aiwu as an adult.
"Look, have you seen it? Look, that dragon is just like me!"
Seeing the carnival dragon formed by white light, Aiwu jumped up with excitement.
Levin could feel that with just one thought, he could transform the patron saint back into the form of a feathered serpent, but its first image was still that of the Carnival Dragon. This seemed to have been decided after the contract between one person and one dragon was made.
Levin did not change, but controlled the Carnival Dragon Guardian Saint to circle around the classroom, triggering bursts of exclamations.
As the patron saint approaches, everyone feels a burst of warmth and joy.
Finally, the patron saint ran to Aiwu, gave Xiaolong a gentle kiss on his forehead, and then disappeared.
"This is the full effect of the [Patronus Charm]." Levin explained: "But I don't expect everyone to do like me in the first class. This is not realistic, because the [Patronus Charm] is a very Advanced magic - far beyond the level of ordinary wizards."
"In fact, many skilled wizards have not been able to master the [Patronus Charm], so don't be discouraged even if you fail to learn this spell for the time being."
After listening to Levin's warning, the little wizards below had bright eyes and seemed to be more interested - the smart Ravenclaws were not to be outdone in this regard, and they looked at the boy on the moss attentively.
Regarding their self-confidence - or in other words, overestimation of their abilities, Levin was not impressed and continued to add: "Then, as I said before, everyone can think about the happiest things before practicing. Since there is no We need to face the Dementors, and we have enough time to do this."
The little wizards in the study group are all racking their brains to search for their happiest moments in their memories - this kind of thing is much simpler for Levin, who has psychic powers, a psychic of SLV7, he is already very good. Good at controlling one's own mind and tapping into one's own memory.
Seeing that most people were eager to give it a try, Levin nodded.
"Have you all focused your thoughts on the happy memories? Next, read with me."
"Call the gods to protect you!"
"Calling God_"
"No, guard——
"sorry----"
"Call the gods for protection, call the gods for protection."
Suddenly, some young wizards discovered that something, which looked like a wisp of silver gas, was spurting out from the tip of their wand.
"Well done, there's something happening." Levin walked off the podium and praised the little wizard who caused this phenomenon. "This is what the initial success of the [Patronus Charm] looks like.
Levin's affirmation made the little wizards look very excited.
"Very good," Levin said with a smile, "So - let's try it with a dementor, are you ready? Although it's not a real thing, the shapeless Patronus Charm is enough.
"Now let's start free practice. If you don't understand, you can ask the teaching assistant. Students who feel they are ready can line up and come to me for practical exercises. Pay attention to order."
Cirilla immediately stood up to perform her duties, and Penello also stood up to help her.
Levin himself walked to the closet. There were already many little wizards lining up in front of him.
Most of them were upperclassmen, but Levin was surprised to find Luna among them.
This also caused the other little wizards to whisper.
"Isn't this the crazy girl?"
"She is so overestimating her abilities!"
"She is only in her second year. Not all wizards are named Levin Green!"
Even after being educated by Levin before, there are still some little wizards who don't like Luna, but they don't dare to do it openly, and it can no longer reach the level of school bullying.
It was difficult for an upright official to take care of household affairs. Levin didn't say anything, he just gave Luna an encouraging smile, and then Miao Cun pointed at the cupboard door.
The cabinet door opened silently, the old TV appeared again, and Sadako climbed out of it horribly.
The appearance of Sadako startled the wizards who saw her for the first time, until Levin activated [Thought Concealment] to isolate his own thoughts and just miss the appearance of the Dementor.
The next moment, Boggart was immediately misled,
"Pa!" with a sound, it turned into a dementor.
Its hooded face turned toward Levin, and a glowing, scabbed, rotting hand grasped its cloak.
The lights around the classroom flickered and went out, until Levin's [Daylight Technique] brought light again.
The dementor came out of the box, preparing to make Levin approach.
But Levin misled it again,
Under the influence of [Command Technique], the dementor's will was distorted, targeting the little wizard in front of him.
Although Boggart's transformation is an illusion, it also has the power to turn the imaginary into reality, and it is quite a bit like the magic of the illusion system [Shadow Evocation].
Such dementors can certainly arouse a little fear in the little wizard.
Several senior wizards failed almost immediately,
Facing the dementors, they couldn't recall any happy memories at all, and naturally they couldn't even summon a silver-white mist.
There is always a difference between actual combat and practice.
They could only obediently receive a piece of chocolate from the table next to them, and then team up to receive spiritual healing from Aiguan.
As another seventh-year wizard was so frightened that he couldn't hold his wand firmly, he withdrew from the queue in dejection.
It's finally Luna's turn next!
Facing the terrifying dementors, Luna's always dazed expression became serious, and the hand holding the wand trembled slightly.
As the Dementor floated towards her under Levin's control, Luna recited the spell:
"Call the gods to protect you!"
Failed to use for the first time,
0...Please give me flowers...
She shouted one after another: "Calling God for protection! Calling God————"
The dementors were approaching her quickly, and were about to arrive in front of her.
But Luna stood there stupidly, lowering her head slightly, her disheveled light blond hair blocking her face, making her expression unclear.
Levin was about to declare her defeat and control the dementors to leave temporarily,
The top of Luna's wand changed, and dry silvery white gas emerged - even brighter than other successful little wizards before.
The gas gradually dissipated not long after it left the wand.
But it was this force that made the Dementor take a few steps back.
But he was also irritated by this and rushed towards Luna's face.
Then, like a puppet, it turned around obediently and put itself back in the closet, waiting for the next challenger.
Levin quickly stepped forward and supported Luna with his hands to prevent her from losing strength and falling.
After the contact, he discovered that Luna's robe was soaked with cold sweat. As the young wizard who had the closest contact with the dementors, she could no longer practice.
So, Levin helped the girl and brought her to the corner where Aiwu was.
.......0
As Aiwu's ditty played, the girl gradually returned to her usual self - at least on the surface.
Levin didn't notice that while he was taking care of Luna, Cirila, Zhang Qiu and Penello all looked at him with meaningful eyes.
"Well, maybe we should call it a night," Levin announced, returning to the podium.
"This spell is still a bit too difficult... Even if Aiwu is here, I shouldn't let you face the dementors directly now..." Levin said with some self-blame, "At least I should wait. You can successfully cast the complete patron saint and then start actual combat training."
"It's okay Levin, I was just shocked, don't worry about it."
"The Dementors won't give us time to prepare, will they?"
"I still feel that actual practice can help me improve more."
"Am I the only one who thinks the female ghost named Sadako is scarier than the dementors?"
The little wizards all spoke to comfort Levin.
But Levin insisted on closing the closet.
In a blink of an eye, the course time is coming to an end.
Levin clapped his hands and asked everyone to return to their seats.
"Tonight's training was very successful. I found that most of the people were able to summon the prototype of the patron saint. This is all the result of hard work, because the family has worked hard."
"To reward everyone for their efforts, I contacted the house elf door in the kitchen in advance and prepared some surprises for everyone."
"A hearty late-night snack."
As he spoke, he held up his magic wand
All the desks rose into the air to form several rows of long tables in the classroom, and the little wizards were automatically pushed to the long tables by their chairs.
The table was piled with mountains of cakes, puddings, chocolate frogs and other sweets, as well as bottles of iced juice and pumpkin juice.
The little wizards cheered and pounced on the sweets. Aiwu monopolized a plate, and the fear he had felt was instantly forgotten.
After having their fill of wine and food, the Ravenclaws lined up and happily returned to the lounge under the leadership of Penello.
“This group study was great!”
“I feel like I’ve learned a lot.”
"Levin actually provides late-night snacks. I will never miss this kind of study group."
“Hopefully next weekend comes soon.”
The little wizards have gained a lot, are in high spirits, and are full of expectations for the next training.
